Neat Finds
TWO SIZES/ SAME TIME
We would like to think we can!
The contest is over. But here is our new Kickstarter to make the coin.
It's the FLHEX project and it features an exciting deck of cards and a new coin with an odd shape, giving it similarities to both half dollars and silver dollars.
We have just a few days...Read about it and support our Kickstarter NOW!

Ok Gang,
I'm making a new coin that is both Silver Dollar Size and Half Dollar Size at the same time. I know, that sounds crazy. Maybe it is. Can you figure out how this is possible? That's our Contest...
Tell me how I could make a coin that is both Silver Dollar Size and Half Dollar Size at the same time. Comment Below before November 5, 2019 CST for your chance to win TWO of these new coins!!
This is all happening because I'm starting a Kickstarter for a new deck of cards for Cardistry. The Kickstarter is a side project, because we are obviously a Coin Magic company.
However, there is a coin component to this Playing Card Kickstarter. I'm making a coin that goes along with the deck! It's a way to connect the Copeland Coins Brand, and we all like coins, so why not?
As stated above, this coin will be very special. Can you guess how it is possible to share both Silver Dollar and Half Dollar sizes in the same coin?
To be fair, I'm being intentionally vague about the description. And the size is not perfectly the same to both coins, but will be with in a couple of millimeters. Pretty stinking close, I would say!
As always, I reward everyone who enters into my contest. So it doesn't hurt to take a guess at what this new coin will look like.
Have fun! You are allowed two guess... in case you want to get creative with one of them and be more serious with the other.
Okay, that's it. Comment below for your chance to win!

I bet it’s a Canadian half dollar on the other side.
First Guess:
I was thinking it’s gonna be like a flipper gimmick. When folded One side is Half Dollar then when flipped it’s going to be a Dollar on both sides.
2nd Guess:
Scotch and Soda type of gimmick. One side is Half Dollar then other side is One dollar face. Then when nested it turns into a Dollar on both sides. Can also inspected since it’s lock like the a Scotch and Soda Gimmick.
Make a ‘pear-shaped coin’ similar in shape to the camera lens area on my iphone 7 with one end the size and curvature of half-dollar and the other the size and curvature of the silver dollar
I am thinking it may be something akin to an aperture device (as in the aperture of a camera.
The other solution is some sort of insert section that is magnetic, so it fits into a larger ring (think like the bi-metallic Euro or UK coins), thus it can technically be both sizes.
In any case this coin may already be suffering an existential crisis…
I thought maybe a black art sort of thing, where on one side of the dollar, the outer circular edge is black with the half dollar in the centre. Or maybe the black art part isnt black, and the camouflage matches the new deck (that would be cool).
